Mike Pence: GOP Must Recognize China as ‘the Greatest Threat to Our Prosperity, Security, and Values’

Former Vice President Mike Pence said it is essential for the Republican Party to recognize China as the “greatest threat to our prosperity, security, and values,” outlining his vision for the party’s future during a Thursday speech at the Reagan Library in Southern California as part of “The Time For Choosing” series.

“Our future agenda for the Republican Party must include a recognition that after years of capitulation by both political parties, that China is now the greatest threat to our prosperity, security, and values,” Pence said during the Thursday evening speech, pitching his vision for the future of the Republican Party.

This reminds me of 90’s and 00’s Republicans railing against:

“regulation”
“government spending”
“gay marriage”
“abortion”

They don’t give a flying f^&#. They just know that you may be concerned about those things so they pretend they are too while not lifting a finger to do anything about it.

Anyone who actually wanted to do something about it would get impeached for trying (twice).

Indiana doesn’t want him. Lord he can’t go back there.

LoL! Great one.

Actually there he is being promoted as the get-along establishment go-to guy for the squirming worms - assistant Democrats under the 'R' label while actually perpetuating the Democrat's plan. Under the guise of pure religious motivations that Trump didn't respect enough, should we have any doubt.

Pence you are no better than Quayle and have shown your true feathers, so give it up now before more overly-wealthy idiots throw their lot into your dream of presidency. America needs patriots, not bought people.

"Trump had been talking weeks about hoping to get a consideration to challenge the vote."

I mean, do you hear yourself? The mere idea that Trump would wait for someone else in government to do something before doing it himself ... lol. But let's just dissect your assertion at face value, for what it's worth:

Who was properly responsible for the clarion call to investigate the 2020 election fraud? President Donald J. Trump:
The authority, and the responsibility for rejecting elector slates, and demanding state legislatures send new elector slates consistent with investigations into electoral fraud, resided solely with President Trump.
There is no Constitutional mechanism to permit the Vice-President to make such a claim. That power -- if it indeed exists -- lies solely with the Office of the President. Any such attempt by the VP would be duly and properly ignored.
As President Lincoln once promised, leaning into Congressman James Alley, "I am the President of the United States, clothed with immense power, and I expect you to procure those votes." What Lincoln didn't say, was: "Vice-President Johnson is clothed with immense power, and I expect him to procure those votes."
In April 2020, President Trump threatened to dismiss Congress over blocking him from recess appointments. President Trump believed he had that power -- the exact same power he would have used to remand the presented elector's slates back to each state's legislature -- and Trump believed that power was invested in him alone. President Trump didn't call VP Pence and say, "Hey Mike, you tell them you're shutting down Congress because I can't get my recess appointments."
